    Really nice dinner here last night. Service was great and friendly and food was really good. Delicious arancini and duck leg starters and then sea bream and featherblade beef. It was all really tasty☺️ . Prices were really good too and so good to go out for a nice dinner and feel like it was really worth it. Would recommend and we will return.

    There's a reason I am a frequent diner for both brunch and dinner at Ian's Kitchen by Mateo and simply put - it is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I simply cannot thank this place enough for not only being practically on my doorstep but for being one of the best places to eat in the whole country! <3 <3 <3 < The food is incredibly delicious, with particular favourites being the: Bloody Mary Chicken Benni (with extra bacon!) Pancake stacks (especially the chocolate ones!) Potato and truffle soup (best soup in Ireland!) Brisket Benni (incredible brisket!) Steak egg and chips (classic but oh so amazing!) It's not uncommon for myself to order twice in a sitting at brunch as the food is just so freaking awesome and is so pleasantly filling it'll last you the rest of the day! Not to mention that the wine pairing suggestions offered are absolutely top-notch - as someone who doesn't like red wine, I gladly drink it here due to the excellent choices and quality available and suggested! The staff are beyond incredible, being so attentive, friendly, professional and unbelievably great craic. They welcome everyone who comes in and bid them farewell on their departure, always making sure everything is going well and offering water on arrival or taking their coats into the cloakroom. There are few, if any, places that do such things like this any more! The atmosphere is most certainly a very chill and cosy one, ideal for a date night, getting together with friends, or even just for a casual bite to eat. It's always a great vibe for both brunch and dinner! Words cannot accurately describe how amazing Ian's Kitchen by Mateo is, I'm always raving about the place to everyone and encouraging others to go and try both their menus, it's an unforgettable experience and absolutely worth a visit no matter what! So forget the hustle and bustle of central Dublin, head out to the suburbs and take in the finest place to dine in the entirety of Dublin. You will absolutely not regret it at all!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Ian’s kitchen! Between our group we tried almost everything on the menu and couldn’t fault a thing. Excellent food, a lovely wine selection and super friendly staff - one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time and already looking forward to coming back.

    Fantastic lunch to an even better dinner service. Ian's Kitchen dishes up some of the best food around and their dinner menu is as excellent as their breakfast and lunch. Definitely worth a booking for a lovely evening with great food and service away from the hustle and bustle of the city

    We were there on a Saturday night. The ambiance of restaurant was good. Loved the music in the background. The food was delicious and well presented. We enjoyed starters, mains and the desserts were also good. Service was good and staff very friendly and welcoming. Good value for money. Will definitely go again.
